Description
Cross Reference to Related Applications
This application claims priority to U.S. patent application No. 62/163,454, filed 5/19/2015, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
Technical Field
The present invention relates to surfactant systems and compositions incorporating surfactant systems that are particularly useful as rinse aids on plastics and other ware. The invention further relates to methods of cleaning plastics and other ware using liquid or solid compositions incorporating the surfactant system. In particular, the plastic compatible surfactant system can be used in conventional warewashing machines and provides good sheeting, wetting, and drying characteristics, suitable as a solution for use on items including, for example, cookware, tableware, flatware, glassware, cups, hard surfaces, glass surfaces, automotive surfaces, and the like. Surfactant systems are particularly effective on plastic surfaces and for rinse aid applications because their performance is superior to conventional surfactant systems used on plastic and other ware.
Background
Rinsing, wetting and sheeting agents are used in a variety of applications to reduce the surface tension of water, allowing the solution to more effectively wet the surface. Wetting agents are included in a wide variety of compositions, including but not limited to cleaning solutions, antimicrobial solutions, paints, adhesives, and inks. A number of wetting agents are currently known, each having certain advantages and disadvantages. There is a continuing need for improved humectant compositions.
Rinse agents are commonly used in mechanical warewashing machines, including dishwashers, that are common in institutional and domestic environments. Such automatic warewashing machines wash wares using two or more cycles, which may include an initial wash cycle followed by a rinse cycle, and optionally other cycles, such as a soak cycle, a pre-wash cycle, a wipe cycle, an additional wash cycle, an additional rinse cycle, a sanitization cycle, and/or a dry cycle. Rinse aids or rinses are commonly used in warewashing applications to promote drying and prevent the formation of spots on laundered ware. To reduce the formation of spots, rinse aids are typically added to water to form an aqueous rinse solution that is sprayed onto ware after washing is complete. A number of rinse aids are currently known, each having certain advantages and disadvantages. There is a continuing need for improved rinse aid compositions, i.e., rinse aid compositions suitable for use on plastic ware.
Accordingly, it is an object of the claimed invention to develop an effective surfactant system for rinse aid applications, including warewashing applications for plastics and other wares.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a rinse aid surfactant system that provides improved sheeting, wetting and quick drying and spot free, particularly for plastic and other ware.
It is another object of the present invention to provide synergistic combinations of surfactants, including surfactant systems suitable for liquid and solid formulations suitable for low and high temperature applications, to provide the same benefits at low active agent levels.
Other objects, advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

In another embodiment, surfactant E (R) is excluded from the high temperature rinse aid surfactant system6-O-(PO)y4(EO)x4). In another embodiment, for solid compositions, surfactant G ((EO) x6(PO) y7(EO) x6) (an EO-PO-EO block copolymer) is included.
In one embodiment, the surfactant system employing surfactant a (or surfactant a 2)/surfactant B is employed in a weight ratio of about 60/40 to about 40/60 or about 50/50.
In one embodiment, the surfactant system employing surfactant a (or surfactant a 2)/surfactant G is employed in a weight ratio of about 60/40 to about 40/60 or about 50/50.

In one embodiment, the surfactant system employing surfactant D/surfactant G is employed in a weight ratio of about 60/40 to about 40/60 or about 50/50.
In one embodiment, the surfactant system employing surfactant a (or surfactant a 2)/surfactant B/surfactant C is employed in a weight ratio of about 30/30/40 to about 45/45/10 or about 35/35/30 to about 40/40/20.
In another aspect, a surfactant system particularly suitable for low temperature rinse aid compositions and application uses includes surfactant A (R)1-O-(EO)x3(PO)y3-H) (or surfactant A2 (R)1-O-(EO)x4(PO)y4-H)), surfactant B (R)2-O-(EO)x1-H) and a surfactant D (R)7-O-(PO)y5(EO)x5(PO)y6) Combinations of (a) and (b). In another embodiment, surfactant E (R) is excluded from the low temperature rinse aid surfactant system6-O-(PO)y4(EO)x4). In another embodiment, for solid compositions, surfactant G ((EO) x6(PO) y7(EO) x6) (an EO-PO-EO block copolymer) is included.
In one embodiment, the surfactant system employing surfactant a (or surfactant a 2)/surfactant B/surfactant D is employed in a weight ratio of about 30/30/40 to about 45/45/10 or about 35/35/30 to about 40/40/20.
In one aspect, the surfactant system provides a desirable foam profile, as measured according to the grignard method, wherein a foam height of 5 inches or less, preferably less than 5 inches, more preferably from l to 5 inches, more preferably from 1 to 3 inches, and most preferably less than 1 inch of foam is achieved after 5 minutes.
In one aspect, the surfactant system reduces the contact angle of the composition on the surface of the substrate by between about 5 ° and about 10 °, or preferably between about 5 ° and about 20 °, or more preferably between about 10 ° and about 25 °, as compared to the contact angle of a commercially available rinse aid composition (i.e., a commercially available rinse aid composition that does not employ a combination of surfactant systems and alcohol alkoxylate surfactant ratios). In a preferred aspect, the surfactant system reduces the contact angle of the composition on the polypropylene surface by between about 5 ° and about 10 °, or preferably between about 5 ° and about 20 °, or more preferably between about 10 ° and about 25 °, as compared to the contact angle of a commercially available rinse aid composition. Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, it is believed that the lower the contact angle, the more sheeting will be induced by the composition. That is, a composition with a lower contact angle will form a larger surface area droplet on the substrate than a composition with a higher contact angle. The increased surface area results in faster drying times and fewer spots formed on the substrate.
Figure 1 shows a two-variable fit (60ppm, 80 ℃) of the average contact angle (degrees) measured on polypropylene, confirming that the concentration of sheeting agent (ppm) required to completely sheet on a surface decreases as the contact angle of the rinse aid composition decreases. A comparison of a commercial rinse aid with various alcohol alkoxylate surfactant systems according to examples of the invention is shown. As shown, there is a linear fit between the reduction in contact angle of the surfactant system composition or rinse aid composition employing the surfactant system versus the reduction in sheeting aid concentration compared to a commercial rinse aid, illustrating the significant benefit of the present invention in providing a surfactant system with a contact angle reduction of between about 5 ° and about 10 ° or preferably between about 5 ° and about 20 ° or more preferably between about 10 ° and about 25 ° compared to the contact angle of a commercially available rinse aid composition (i.e., a commercially available rinse aid composition that does not employ a surfactant system according to embodiments of the present invention), while also being capable of providing such complete sheeting at low active levels. In some aspects, complete tableting requires 125ppm or less, or 100ppm or less, or 50ppm or less of surfactant system active agent.
In some embodiments, the alcohol alkoxylate surfactant is selected to have a surfactant system with certain environmentally friendly characteristics, and thus is suitable for use in the food service industry and/or the like. For example, certain alcohol alkoxylate surfactants may meet environmental or food service regulatory requirements, such as biodegradability requirements.
In one aspect, the surfactant system and compositions employing the surfactant system unexpectedly provide efficacy at lower dosages, i.e., using about 125ppm or less concentration or 100ppm or less or 50ppm or less of the surfactant system active agent, due to the synergy of the system. In one aspect, active agent concentrations below about 5% provide effective performance. The surfactant system allows for administration at lower active levels while providing at least substantially similar performance as further elaborated in the examples.

In some embodiments, the surfactant system of the present invention comprises from about 1 part by weight to about 75 parts by weight of additional surfactant. In other embodiments, the compositions of the present invention include from about 5 parts by weight to about 50 parts by weight of additional surfactant. In other embodiments, the compositions of the present invention include from about 10 parts by weight to about 50 parts by weight of additional surfactant.
In some embodiments, rinse aid compositions employing the surfactant systems of the present invention include from about 1 wt-% to about 75 wt-% of additional surfactant. In other embodiments, the compositions of the present invention comprise from about 5 wt-% to about 50 wt-% of additional surfactant. In other embodiments, the compositions of the present invention comprise from about 10 wt-% to about 50 wt-% of additional surfactant.
Suitable nonionic surfactants are generally characterized by the presence of an organic hydrophobic group and an organic hydrophilic group and are typically produced by the condensation of an organic aliphatic, alkylaromatic or polyoxyalkylene hydrophobic compound with a hydrophilic basic oxide moiety, conventionally ethylene oxide or its polyhydration product polyethylene glycol. Almost any hydrophobic compound having a hydroxyl, carboxyl, amino or amide group containing a reactive hydrogen atom can be condensed with ethylene oxide or its polyhydrated adducts or its mixtures with alkylene oxides such as propylene oxide to form nonionic surfactants. The length of the hydrophilic polyoxyalkylene moiety condensed with any particular hydrophobic compound is readily adjusted to produce a water-dispersible or water-soluble compound having a desired balance between hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. Suitable nonionic surfactants include
A block polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene polymeric compound (1) based on propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, glycerin, trimethylolpropane and ethylenediamine as initiator reactive hydrogen compounds. An example of a polymeric compound made from sequential propoxylation and ethoxylation of an initiator is available from BASF Corp. One class of compounds are difunctional (two reactive hydrogens) compounds formed by the condensation of ethylene oxide with a hydrophobic base formed by the addition of propylene oxide to the two hydroxyl groups of propylene glycol. This hydrophobic portion of the molecule is about 1,000 to about 4,000 by weight. Ethylene oxide is then added to sandwich this hydrophobe between hydrophilic groups, carefully controlled by length to account for about 10 to about 80 weight percent of the final molecule. Another class of compounds are tetrafunctional block copolymers obtained by the sequential addition of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide to ethylenediamine. The molecular weight of the propylene oxide hydrophobe is in the range of from about 500 to about 7,000; and the hydrophilic species is ethylene oxide added to constitute from about 10 to about 80 weight percent of the molecule.
The condensation product of one mole of an alkylphenol in which the alkyl chain has a straight or branched configuration or has a mono-or di-alkyl composition, containing from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms (2), with from about 3 to about 50 moles of ethylene oxide. Alkyl representatives may be, for example, diisobutylene, dipentyl, polymeric propylene, isooctyl, nonyl and dinonyl. These surfactants may be polyoxyethylene, polyoxy-oxyethylene of alkyl phenolPropylene oxide and polybutylene oxide condensates. Examples of commercial compounds having this chemistry are available on the market under the trade nameAndthe method comprises the following steps of (1) obtaining,manufactured by Rhone-Poulenc,manufactured by Union Carbide.
The condensation product (3) of one mole of a saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched alcohol having from about 6 to about 24 carbon atoms with from about 3 to about 50 moles of ethylene oxide.

Examples of similar commercial surfactants can be found under the trade name LutensolTM、DehydolTM、NeodolTMAnd AlfonicTMObtained byTM、DehydolTMMade by basf, NeodolTMAlfonic, manufactured by Shell Chemical CoTMManufactured by Vista Chemical company.
The condensation product (4) of one mole of a saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched carboxylic acid having from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms with from about 6 to about 50 moles of ethylene oxide. The acid moiety may consist of a mixture of acids within the carbon atom ranges defined hereinabove, or it may consist of an acid having a specific number of carbon atoms within the ranges. Examples of commercial compounds having this chemistry are commercially available under the trade names Disponil or Agnique and LipopegTMDisponil and Agnique, manufactured by BASF, LipopegTMManufactured by Lipo Chemicals.
In addition to ethoxylated carboxylic acids, commonly referred to as polyethylene glycol esters, other alkanoic acid esters formed by reaction with glycerides, glycerin, and polyhydric (saccharide or sorbitan/sorbitol) alcohols are also suitable for use in certain embodiments of the present invention, particularly indirect food additive applications. All of these ester moieties have one or more reactive hydrogen sites on their molecule that can undergo further acylation or ethylene oxide (alkoxide) addition, thereby controlling the hydrophilicity of these materials. In adding these fatty esters or acylated carbohydrates to the compositions of the present invention containing amylase and/or lipase, special care must be taken because of potential incompatibility.
Examples of the nonionic low-foaming surfactant include:
the compound from (1) modified by the addition of ethylene oxide to ethylene glycol to provide a hydrophilic species of indicated molecular weight, followed by the addition of propylene oxide to obtain a hydrophobic block on the outside (terminal) of the molecule, essentially the opposite. The hydrophobic portion of the molecule has a molecular weight of from about 1,000 to about 3,100, with the intermediate hydrophilic species comprising from 10% to about 80% by weight of the final molecule. These inverse PluronicsTMManufactured by basf under the trade name PluronicTMAnd (3) an R surfactant. Likewise, TetronicTMThe R surfactant is produced by basf by the sequential addition of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide to ethylenediamine. The hydrophobic portion of the molecule has a molecular weight of from about 2,100 to about 6,700, with the intermediate hydrophilic species constituting from 10 to 80 weight percent of the final molecule.
A compound from group (1), group (2), group (3), and group (4) modified by: the terminal hydroxyl groups (of the polyfunctional moiety) are "capped" or "capped" by reaction with hydrophobic small molecules such as propylene oxide, butylene oxide, benzyl chloride, and the like, as well as short chain fatty acids containing from 1 to about 5 carbon atoms, alcohols or alkyl halides, and mixtures thereof, thereby reducing foaming. Also included are reactants such as thionyl chloride which converts the terminal hydroxyl group to a chloro group.

Use solution
The surfactant system composition may comprise a concentrate composition or may be diluted to form a use composition. In general, a concentrate refers to a composition of use solution intended to be diluted with water to provide contact with an object to achieve a desired cleaning, rinsing, etc. The composition that is contacted with the items to be washed may be referred to as a concentrate or use composition (or use solution), depending on the formulation used in the method according to the invention. In one aspect, the surfactant system in the use solution preferably has a pH of 8.5 or less, 8.3 or less, or 7 or less.
The use solution may be prepared from the concentrate by diluting the concentrate with water at a dilution ratio that provides the use solution with the desired cleaning characteristics. The water used to dilute the concentrate to form the use composition may be referred to as dilution water or diluent, and may vary from location to location. Typical dilution factors are between about 1 and about 10,000, but will depend on factors including water hardness, the amount of soil to be removed, and the like. In one embodiment, the concentrate is diluted at a concentrate to water ratio of between about 1:10 and about 1:10,000. Specifically, the concentrate is diluted at a concentrate to water ratio of between about 1:100 and about 1:5,000. More specifically, the concentrate is diluted at a concentrate to water ratio of between about 1:250 and about 1:2,000.
In one aspect of the invention, the surfactant system composition preferably provides an effective rinse at low use dilution, i.e., less volume is required for effective cleaning. In one aspect, the concentrated liquid detergent composition may be diluted in water prior to use at a dilution of about l/16 oz/gal to about 2 oz/gal. Advantageously, the surfactant system concentrate compositions according to the present invention are effective at low actives, such that the compositions provide at least substantially similar, and preferably improved, action as compared to conventional rinse surfactant systems. In one aspect of the invention, the use solution of the surfactant system composition has between about 1ppm to about 125ppm of the surfactant system, between about 1ppm to about 100ppm of the surfactant system, between about 1ppm to about 75ppm of the surfactant system, between about 1ppm to about 50ppm of the surfactant system and preferably between about 10ppm to about 50ppm of the surfactant system. Further, without being limited by the invention, all ranges recited include the number of ranges recited and include each integer within the recited ranges.
Solid composition and method for producing solid
A variety of solid compositions can be formulated using the surfactant systems of the present invention, including granular and granulated solid compositions, powders, solid block compositions, cast solid block compositions, extruded solid block compositions, and the like. The term "solid" means that the hardening composition does not flow and substantially retains its shape under moderate stress or pressure or simply gravity. The solid may be in a variety of forms such as a powder, a flake, a granule, a pellet, a briquette, a rhombohedral, an iceball, a briquette, a brick, a solid block, a unit dose, or another solid form known to those skilled in the art. The hardness of the solid casting composition and/or compacted solid composition may range from a relatively dense and hard molten solid product such as concrete to a consistency characterized as a hardened paste. Additionally, the term "solid" refers to the state of the detergent composition under the conditions of intended storage and use of the solid detergent composition. Generally, it is contemplated that the detergent composition will remain in solid form when exposed to temperatures up to about 100 ° f and especially up to about 120 ° f.
The resulting solid composition may take a form including, but not limited to, the following forms: cast solid product; extruding, molding or forming solid pellets, blocks, briquettes, powders, granules, flakes; pressing the solid; or the shaped solid may thereafter be milled or shaped into a powder, granules or flakes. In one exemplary embodiment, the mass of extruded pellets formed from the solidified matrix has a weight between about 50 grams and about 250 grams, the extruded solid formed from the composition has a weight of about 100 grams or greater, and the solid block cleaner formed from the composition has a mass between about 1 and about 10 kilograms. The solid composition provides a stable source of functional materials. In some embodiments, the solid composition may be dissolved, for example, in an aqueous solution or other medium, resulting in a concentrated solution and/or use solution. The solution may be directed into a storage container for subsequent use and/or dilution, or it may be applied directly to the point of use.
The solid particulate matter may be prepared simply by blending the dry solid ingredients in the appropriate ratios or by agglomerating the matter in an appropriate agglomeration system. Granulated materials can be made by compressing solid particles or agglomerated material in a suitable granulating apparatus to produce a granulated material of suitable size. Solid blocks and cast solid block masses can be prepared by introducing into a vessel either a pre-hardened mass of the mass or a castable liquid hardened into a solid block within the vessel. Preferably the container comprises a disposable plastic container or a water-soluble film container. Other suitable packaging for the composition includes flexible bags, sacks, shrink wrap, and water soluble films such as polyvinyl alcohol.
The solid detergent composition may be formed using a batch or continuous mixing system. In one exemplary embodiment, a single or twin screw extruder is used to combine and mix one or more components under high shear to form a homogeneous mixture. In some embodiments, the processing temperature is at or below the melting temperature of the components. The processed mixture can be dispensed from the mixer by forming, casting, or other suitable means, whereupon the detergent composition hardens into a solid form. The structure of the matrix can be characterized according to methods known in the art in terms of its hardness, melting point, material distribution, crystal structure, and other similar properties. In general, solid detergent compositions processed according to the method of the invention are substantially homogeneous in terms of distribution of ingredients throughout the mass, and are dimensionally stable.
In the extrusion process, the liquid and solid components are introduced into a final mixing system and mixing is continued until the components form a substantially homogeneous semi-solid mixture in which the components are distributed throughout the mass. The mixture is then discharged from the mixing system into or through a die or other forming member. The product is then packaged. In an exemplary embodiment, the shaped composition begins to harden to a solid form between about 1 minute and about 3 hours. Specifically, the shaped composition begins to harden to a solid form between about 1 minute and about 2 hours. More specifically, the shaped composition begins to harden to a solid form between about 1 minute and about 20 minutes.
In the casting process, the liquid and solid components are introduced into a final mixing system and mixing is continued until the components form a substantially homogeneous liquid mixture in which the components are distributed throughout the mass. In one exemplary embodiment, the components are mixed in the mixing system for at least about 60 seconds. Once mixing is complete, the product can be transferred to a packaging container where it is solidified. In an exemplary embodiment, the casting composition begins to harden to a solid form between about 1 minute and about 3 hours. Specifically, the cast composition begins to harden to a solid form between about 1 minute and about 2 hours. More specifically, the cast composition begins to harden to a solid form between about 1 minute and about 20 minutes.
In a pressed solids process, flowable solids, such as particulate solids or other particulate solids, including a surfactant system and a binder (e.g., hydrated chelants, such as hydrated aminocarboxylates, hydrated polycarboxylates or hydrated anionic polymers, hydrated citrates or hydrated tartrates, and the like, along with alkali metal carbonates, such as disclosed in U.S. patent nos. 8,894,897 and 8,894,898, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety) are combined under pressure. Surfactant systems are particularly well suited for use in compacting solid compositions because of the lower liquid levels that are a result of the synergistic effect obtained by formulating surfactant systems that require lower levels of active (i.e., less surfactant than other rinse aid surfactant compositions). By way of non-limiting example, the compacted solids of the surfactant system according to the present disclosure include substantially less liquid (e.g., less than 30%, 10-30%, less than 20%, 10-20%, 5-20%, less than 10%, 5-10%, or less than 5%) than between about 50-70% liquid would be required for a conventional bulk solid surfactant system.
In the process of pressing solids, the flowable solid of the composition is placed into a form (e.g., a mold or container). The method may include gently compressing the flowable solid in the form to produce a solid cleaning composition. Pressure may be applied by a block machine or rotary brick press or the like. Pressures of about 1 to about 2000psi, about 1 to about 300psi, about 5psi to about 200psi, or about 10 to about 100psi may be applied. In certain embodiments, the process may employ pressures as low as greater than or equal to about 1psi, greater than or equal to about 2psi, greater than or equal to about 5psi, or greater than or equal to about 10 psi. As used herein, the term "psi" or "pounds per square inch" refers to the actual pressure applied to the compacted flowable solid and does not refer to gauge or hydraulic pressure measured at a point in the apparatus where the compaction is performed. The method may include a curing step to produce a solid cleaning composition. As mentioned herein, the uncured composition comprising the flowable solid is compressed to provide sufficient surface contact between the particles making up the flowable solid so that the uncured composition will set into a stable solid cleaning composition. A sufficient amount of the particles (e.g., granules) in contact with each other provides for binding of the particles to each other, effective to produce a stable solid composition. Including the curing step may include allowing the compacted solid to set for a period of time, such as a few hours or about 1 day (or longer). In additional aspects, the method may include vibrating the flowable solid in the form or in a mold, such as the method disclosed in U.S. patent No. 8,889,048, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The use of compressed solids provides a number of benefits over conventional solid block or slug compositions that require high pressures in a tablet press, or require melting of the composition, casting that consumes significant amounts of energy, and/or extrusion that requires expensive equipment and advanced technical knowledge. The compacted solid overcomes many of these limitations of other solid formulations required to make solid cleaning compositions. In addition, the compacted solid composition retains its shape under conditions in which the composition can be stored or handled.
The following patents disclose various combinations of setting, binding and/or hardening agents that may be used in the solid cleaning compositions of the present invention. The following U.S. patents are incorporated herein by reference, U.S. patent No. 7,153,820; 7,094,746 No; 7,087,569 No; 7,037,886 No; 6,831,054 No; 6,730,653 No; 6,660,707 No; 6,653,266 No; 6,583,094 No; 6,410,495 No; U.S. Pat.

For example, in some embodiments, the surfactant systems and compositions may be formulated for use in warewashing applications, including rinse cycles in commercial warewashing machines. The first type of rinse cycle may be referred to as a hot water sanitizing rinse cycle because hot rinse water (about 180 ° f) is typically used. The second type of rinse cycle may be referred to as a chemical sanitizing rinse cycle and it typically uses rinse water at a lower temperature (about 120 ° f). Advantageously, the surfactant system and compositions employing the surfactant system are particularly well suited for use in both low and high temperature conditions.
The methods employing surfactant systems and compositions employing surfactant systems are particularly useful in closed systems, such as dish or ware washing systems, to achieve enhanced sheeting, wetting and drying of articles and surfaces. According to embodiments of the present invention, the surfactant system and compositions employing the surfactant system are suitable for both low temperature and high temperature applications.
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, the surfactant systems and compositions employing the surfactant systems as disclosed herein are used in low temperature warewashing applications.

In one embodiment, the temperature of the rinse water is up to about 140 ° f, preferably in the range of 100 ° f to 140 ° f, preferably in the range of 110 ° f to 140 ° f, and most preferably in the range of 120 ° f to 140 ° f. As referred to herein, "low temperature" refers to those rinse water temperatures below about 140 ° f. In one aspect, the method of the invention employing cryogenic temperatures further employs a disinfectant.
In a particularly preferred aspect, the low temperature composition may employ surfactant A (R)1-O-(EO)x3(PO)y3-H) (or surfactant A2 (R)1-O-(EO)x4(PO)y4-H)), surfactant B (R)2-O-(EO)x1-H) and a surfactant D (R)7-O-(PO)y5(EO)x5(PO)y6) Combinations of (a) and (b).

The surfactant system and compositions employing the surfactant system can contact a surface or an article by a number of methods for applying the composition, such as spraying the composition, submerging the object in the composition, or a combination thereof. The concentrate or use concentration of the composition of the present invention may be applied to or contacted with an article by any conventional method or apparatus for applying a cleaning composition to an object. For example, the object may be wiped, sprayed, and/or submerged with the composition or a use solution made from the composition. The composition may be sprayed or wiped onto a surface; the composition may be allowed to flow onto the surface, or the surface may be impregnated into the composition. The contact may be manual or by machine.
In other embodiments, the surfactant system and compositions employing the surfactant system may be used in an aqueous environment containing a large amount of solids in order to reduce the appearance of visible films resulting from the level of dissolved solids provided in the water. Generally, water containing a significant amount of solids is considered to be water having a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) content in excess of 200 ppm. In some regions, domestic water contains more than 400ppm, and even more than 800ppm total dissolved solids. Applications where the presence of a visible film after washing a substrate is a particular problem include the restaurant or warewashing industry, the automobile washing industry, and general cleaning of hard surfaces.
Exemplary articles in the warewashing industry that can be treated with the surfactant systems and compositions employing the surfactant systems include plastics, tableware, cups, glass, flatware, and cookware.

Generally, these types of articles may be referred to as food or beverage contact articles because their surfaces are used to contact food and/or beverages. When used in these warewashing applications, the surfactant system provides effective sheeting action, low foaming characteristics, and rapid drying. In some aspects, the surfactant system and compositions employing the surfactant system dry the surface (e.g., ware) within about 30 seconds to several minutes, or within about 30 to about 90 seconds, after application of the aqueous solution.
In addition to having the desirable characteristics described above, it is equally applicable that the surfactant system and compositions employing the surfactant system are biodegradable, environmentally friendly, and generally non-toxic. Humectants of this type may be described as "food grade".

Examples of the invention
Embodiments of the present invention are further defined in the following non-limiting examples. It should be understood that these examples, while indicating certain embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only. From the above discussion and these examples, one skilled in the art can ascertain the essential characteristics of this invention, and without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, can make various changes and modifications of the embodiments of the invention to adapt the invention to various usages and conditions. Accordingly, various modifications of the embodiments of the present invention in addition to those shown and described herein will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the foregoing description. It is intended that such modifications be within the scope of the appended claims.
Example 1
Latent raw materials for rinse aids were initially tested in a grignard foam machine. The raw materials were initially tested by themselves in a grignard foam machine, and then tested at different combination ratios with other raw materials based on the activity of the particular raw material. Raw materials were added to the circulating water and the foam produced was measured after one to five minutes. The product that produced excessive amounts of stable foam in this evaluation was identified as undesirable because it caused mechanical pump cavitation.
Table 4 shows the initial testing of the individual surfactants for foaming. The foam profile indicates how much foam each individual surfactant produces at different temperatures, so that a better understanding of how it will foam in the dishwasher is obtained. The foam study was completed using a grignard foam device in which the foam level was read after one minute of agitation and again after 5 minutes of agitation. The gelliflol foam apparatus was set at 6psi at varying temperature (deg.C) for 5 minutes. The machine was then turned off and the foam was measured for 1 minute. The test was run in soft water (3L) using 20g of milk powder and 50ppm of active surfactant (at 100% active level). The initial 1 minute test showed foaming under surfactant only; soil challenges after 5 minutes include the presence of 2000ppm soil and measuring surfactant sudsing in the presence of soil (indicating a foam measurement where a desirable foam profile is less than 5 inches).
TABLE 4
Note the foam level in the machine. Referring to the results shown in table 4, the amount of foam in inches indicates how much foam remains, with minimum amounts after 1 minute and 15 minutes being preferred. The partially stable foam slowly decomposed within one minute. Unstable foams burst rapidly in less than 15 seconds. The best results are foam instability or no foam, and generally, stable foam at any level is unacceptable. Foams that are less than one-half inch and are unstable and disappear shortly after the machine is shut down are acceptable, but no foam is optimal. Various surfactants demonstrate beneficial low or no foam profiles under the conditions tested. The surfactant then proceeds to the sheeting evaluation.
Example 2
The individual surfactants evaluated for foaming in example 1 were also evaluated for sheeting in a dishwasher to demonstrate the ability to individually sheet different types of dishware. The tests observed water sheeting on twelve different types of warewash materials including a 10 oz glass beaker, porcelain dish, melamine dish, polypropylene coffee cup, dinex bowl, polypropylene pot, polysulfonate dish, stainless steel butter knife, polypropylene coffee dish, fiberglass coffee dish, and stainless steel slide 316.
For evaluation, the test material was initially washed and then contaminated with a solution containing 0.2% of a hot spot soil (a mixture of milk powder and margarine). The material was then exposed to a 30 second wash cycle using either 71 ℃ (160 ° f) soft water (0 particles) for high temperature evaluation or 48 ℃ (120 ° f) and 60 ℃ (140 ° f) tap water for low temperature evaluation. The test product was measured in parts per million of active agent. Immediately after exposure of the warewash material to the test product, the appearance of water (sheeting) draining from the test material alone was examined.
The results of evaluating the individual surfactants are shown in tables 5-8. Immediately after exposure of the warewashing materials to the rinse aid formulation, the appearance (sheeting) of water drained from the individual warewashing materials was examined and evaluated. The following table shows the results of these tests. In these tables, the sheeting evaluation is indicated by: zero (0) indicates no sheeting, the number "one" (1) indicates pinhole sheeting, or the number "two" (2) indicates complete sheeting. Pinhole sheeting refers to the presence of tiny pinholes on the water surface as the water is being drained from the items being washed. The size of these holes increases slightly as water continues to drain from the vessel. Complete sheeting refers to the continuous sheeting of water on the washed items as the water is drained from the ware. The test was complete when all washed items showed complete flaking.
Table 5 (surfactant D, 0 granules; 69.4 deg.C (157F.))
Table 6 surfactant a; 0 particle; 69.4 ℃ (157 ° F)) shows that at 110ppm all substrates achieved complete sheeting.

TABLE 8 (surfactant J; 0 particles; 69.4 deg.C (157F.))
Various surfactants demonstrated beneficial sheeting results under the conditions tested. From table 6, the surfactant type a demonstrated complete sheeting at a relatively lower concentration than the D, I and the surfactant type J. The surfactant then proceeds to dynamic contact angle evaluation with additional surfactant.
Example 3
The test quantitatively measures the angle at which a drop of solution contacts the test substrate. To produce the desired concentration of rinse aid or surfactant, which is then placed into the apparatus. FromThe square plate cuts rectangular shapes of each plastic substrate material (melamine, polycarbonate, polypropylene). All experiments were performed on a KRUSS DSA 100 drop analyzer. The solution and sample are then heated in the chamber to the desired temperature. For each experiment, a rectangular substrate was placed on a temperature heated Peltier plate (Peltier plate)te) on the KRUSS DSA 100 platform under control. The temperature was set to 80 ℃.
The substrate was left on the platform for 10 minutes to bring it to the desired temperature. Droplets of 5ul surfactant solution at a surfactant concentration of 60ppm were deposited onto the substrate material (polypropylene, polycarbonate and melamine samples) and the contact angle between the droplet and the surface was measured over a period of 12 seconds. Three measurements were made and averaged for each substrate/surfactant solution combination.
The release of the droplets to the substrate is recorded by a camera. Video taken by the camera is sent to a computer and the contact angle can be determined. The lower the contact angle, the better the solution will induce sheeting. This means that once the dishware is removed from the dishwasher, the faster the dishware will dry and the less specks.
Results of contact angle measurements are shown in fig. 2-3, with various surfactants evaluated individually. Figures 2-3 demonstrate that surfactant a alone has overall the best performance in terms of sheeting and wetting, with surfactant J, surfactant a2 and surfactant B also providing excellent results. Surfactant D was selected based on the demonstrated antifoaming as having acceptable results. Based on the evaluation of the dynamic contact angle measurements, the highest performing surfactants were evaluated at different ratios for the foam (with and without defoamer) as set forth in example 4.
Example 4
The grignard foam evaluation set forth in example 1 was performed for the highest performing surfactant of example 3 and compared to different ratios of surfactants to evaluate the potential synergy of the combination of foaming benefits. Table 9 shows combinations of surfactants screened for synergy.
A single surfactant or combination that foams more than 8 "after an initial reading of five minutes is considered to be too foamy for the application. A single surfactant or combination having a foam less than 8 "but a foam greater than 5" after the five minute initial reading is considered a candidate surfactant for use, but requires additional defoaming from another source of defoaming surfactant such as a type D surfactant. If the foam produced continues to break to less than 1 "after the final foam reading, then a single surfactant or combination having a foam less than 5" after the five minute initial reading is considered a more desirable candidate surfactant for the application. For a favorable foam profile, the combination of surfactants a and B would require, for example, the addition of a surfactant of type D.
Table 10 shows the combinations of surfactants initially screened for synergy. If the foam produced continues to break to less than 1 "after the final foam reading, then a single surfactant or combination having a foam less than 5" after the five minute initial reading is considered a more desirable candidate surfactant for the application. Surfactant type D the combination of surfactants a and I for example shows a foam profile which is advantageous for the application.
Table 11 shows other combinations of surfactants screened for synergy, where it is demonstrated that using surfactant C instead of surfactant B achieves beneficial results, achieving relatively lower foam combinations. While surfactant C alone did not exhibit acceptable foam characteristics, the blend of surfactants A, I and C exhibited a favorable foam profile, in contrast to the surfactant combination of surfactants A, I and B. A single surfactant or combination that foams more than 8 "after an initial reading of five minutes is considered to be too foamy for the application. A single surfactant or combination having a foam less than 8 "but a foam greater than 5" after the five minute initial reading is considered a candidate surfactant for the application, but requires additional defoaming from another source of defoaming surfactant such as type D surfactant, or alternatively, uses less type B surfactant in combination with additional type C surfactant. If the foam produced continues to break to less than 1 "after the final foam reading, then a single surfactant or combination having a foam less than 5" after the five minute initial reading is considered a more desirable candidate surfactant for the application. A. The combination of I and C meets the favorable foam profile, while the combination of A, I and B would require additional defoaming.
TABLE 11
Example 5
The sheeting evaluations set forth in example 2 were conducted using the highest performing surfactant combination of example 4, comparing different ratios of surfactants, to evaluate the potential synergy of the combination of sheeting benefits with and without defoamer.
TABLE 12 (40% A/40% B/20% C; 0 granules; 65.5 deg.C (150F.))
The results depicted in table 12 show the superior results of the surfactant system providing efficacy at low concentrations (50ppm or less).
Table 13 (36.5% A/22.1% C/41.4% I; 0 granules; 64.4 deg.C (148F.))
The results depicted in table 13 demonstrate improved results compared to commercial rinse additives, where the surfactant system provides efficacy at a concentration of 100ppm or less, as less foam was observed than the combination of A, B, C during the test. However, the combination of A, C, I did not provide full tabletization efficacy compared to the combination of A, B, C.
TABLE 14 (40% A/20% C/40% A2; 0 granules; 66 deg.C (150F.))
The results depicted in table 14 demonstrate the improved results compared to commercial rinse additives, where the surfactant system provides efficacy at a concentration of 100ppm or less. The use of a with a2 and C did not provide the full sheeting efficacy shown in the examples of surfactant combinations of A, B and C.
TABLE 15 (40% A/20% B/40% A2; 0 granules; 66 deg.C (150F.))
The results depicted in table 15 demonstrate improved results compared to commercial rinse additives, where the surfactant system provides efficacy at a concentration of 70ppm or less. The use of a with a2 and B did not provide the full sheeting efficacy shown in the examples of surfactant combinations of A, B and C.
TABLE 16 (56% A/5% B/14% I/25% D; 0 granules; 63.3 deg.C (146F.))
The results depicted in table 16 demonstrate the improved results compared to commercial rinse additives, where the surfactant system provides efficacy at concentrations of 100ppm or less. However, the addition of surfactants of type I and D, respectively, which exhibit a favorable foam profile, reduces the efficacy of complete sheeting.
TABLE 17 (40% J/40% A2/20% H; 0 granules; 64.4 deg.C (148F.))
The results depicted in table 17 demonstrate the improved results compared to commercial rinse additives, where the surfactant system provides efficacy at a concentration of 100ppm or less. However, the addition of surfactants of type J and H, respectively, which exhibit a favorable foam profile, reduces the efficacy of complete sheeting.
TABLE 18 (40% A/40% A2/20% H; 0 granules; 66 deg.C (150F.))
The results depicted in table 18 demonstrate the improved results compared to commercial rinse additives, where the surfactant system provides efficacy at a concentration of 100ppm or less. However, the addition of type G surfactants, each exhibiting a favorable foam profile, reduced the full sheeting efficacy compared to the blend of A, B, C.
TABLE 19 (50% B/50% D; 0 granules; 66 deg.C (150F.))
The results depicted in table 19 demonstrate improved results compared to commercial rinse additives, where the surfactant system provides efficacy at a concentration of 70ppm or less. However, while the addition of the surfactant combination of B and D provides unexpected efficacy, the combination of B and D is not as effective as the combination of A, B, C.
The results shown in tables 12-19 illustrate significant improvements and synergistic results for surfactant system a/B/C (40/40/20 ratio), surfactant system a/B/a2(40/20/40 ratio), and surfactant system B/D (50/50 ratio). Surprisingly, synergistic combinations have a potential antagonistic effect with increasing amounts of antifoam in the surfactant system. Without being limited to a particular mechanism of action, the antagonistic effect indicated by slightly poorer efficacy with antifoams may be a result of interference with wetting and sheeting in the surfactant system according to the invention. Thus, the surfactant system and compositions employing the surfactant preferably do not require and/or employ a lesser concentration of defoamer, including, for example, less than about 20 wt-% defoamer (e.g., surfactant D). In other embodiments, the detergent composition employing the defoamer can follow the use of the surfactant system in an application and the composition employing the surfactant system.
The cumulative results shown in tables 12-19 are also depicted in graphical format in fig. 4, showing all pieces of data together. The graphs are generated by assigning the results of tables 12-19 with a numerical value (providing a total score or "sum" of results). The steeper the line for each system, the faster and completely flaky. The surfactant system a/B/C (40/40/20 ratio) is depicted as the highest performing system.
Example 6
These variants of the surfactant system tested in example 5 were further evaluated using dynamic contact angles as set forth in example 3. Fig. 5-7 show contact angle versus time (dynamic contact) as performed under the sheeting study. The figure confirms that the most preferred embodiment of the surfactant system is the surfactant system a/B/C (40/40/20 ratio).
Example 7
50 cycle redeposition evaluation the results of examples 5-6 using the preferred surfactant system were placed into two inline formulations at the same surfactant level as the inline surfactant package. The performance of the in-line product was evaluated in a 50 cycle test against the experimental formulation.
6 glasses are placed diagonally in the carrier together with a plastic glass. The machine was fed with 0.08% (800ppm) detergent and the required volume (ml) of each individual rinse aid. The detergent was kept constant for each rinse aid evaluated. A food soil concentration of 0.2% (2000ppm) was added to the machine (occupying the pool volume). When the test is started, the detergent and rinse aid dispensers are automatically dosed in the appropriate amount for each cycle. The detergent is controlled by conductivity and the rinse aid of each tray is dispensed in milliliters. Food soil was manually dosed to maintain a concentration of 0.2% (2000ppm) for each cycle. When the test was finished, the glass was allowed to dry overnight and the film accumulation was evaluated. The glass was then stained with coomassie blue to determine protein residues.
The results are shown in FIGS. 8-9. Figure 8 shows the average glass fraction and the plastic glass fraction, as well as the resulting variation depending on the placement of the glass in the carrier. The performance data shows that using a commercially available rinse aid with a surfactant system A/B/C at a ratio of 40/40/20, the average glass fraction and plastic fraction were greatly improved using the same surfactant percentages in-line and experimental formulations. Surprisingly, the formulation was more effective at a 2ml dose than the other formulations at a 4ml dose, indicating that the synergy obtained from the combination allows administration at lower active levels while providing at least substantially similar performance, or as depicted in fig. 8, with improved performance.
Figure 9 shows the redeposited protein fraction achieved using the preferred surfactant system a/B/C at the 40/40/20 ratio used in the commercial rinse aid a/B/C formulation, confirming the improved results of protein redeposition compared to the in-line commercial rinse aid. While the surfactant system provided for rinse aid benefits is not solely responsible for protein removal, sheeting of the rinse aid prevents soil loads in the sump of the dishwasher from redepositing on the ware, demonstrating further benefits of the present invention.

Further evaluation of the surfactant system compared to a commercial rinse aid control compared to glassware, flatware and dish ratings in commercial warewashing applications. The goal of the test is to evaluate the surfactant system as compared to the positive control, as determined by ware rating and drying time, in order to obtain the same (at lower actives) or better performance. Additional benefits of reduced cost surfactant systems were also measured.
Rinse aid testing was performed in 10 different locations evenly separated between high temperature (>180 ° f rinse, hot water sanitization) and low temperature (<180 ° f rinse, chemical sanitization) dishwashers. Positive controls were each a commercially available rinse aid. The following information was collected during the 45-day baseline and 45-day test phases: glassware appearance ratings (overall, mottle, film) according to table 30 (grades 1 to 5).
The rinse aid delivery volume is consistent at all locations. FIG. 12 shows a scatter plot of the baseline (positive control) and the test (surfactant system A/B/D38/38/24). Beneficially, according to the test results, as shown in fig. 12, the surfactant system according to the present invention provides at least the same efficacy as the positive control (at about 50% lower active agent).
Having thus described the invention, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims. The above specification provides a description of the manufacture and use of the disclosed compositions and methods. Since many embodiments of the invention can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, the invention resides in the claims hereinafter appended.
